It seems that we are missing some clocks.
We don't support the audio pll and so don't support the codec gate
which is the one that the driver is expecting to find.
It looks like we've never supported this pll since the switch to the
new clock driver (in 2018). Back then a lot of clock were directly
found in the DTB but that ship has sailed a long time ago.
FreeBSD 11 still have the old clock drivers (and the old DTB) which is
why it worked for you.
I don't think that anybody have any plan to work on that tbh.
